Talk to General Physician on Suspected Covid 19
Asking For Self, Female 65, Islamabad
My mother has breathing problem since 09 days her SPO2 is ranging between 94 to 99 with 5 litre oxygen but sometimes it drops to 89 during any physical activity. She is PCR Negative, IL 6 Negative but X-ray showing inflammation or infiltration in right lower lobe particularly. Most of her blood tests are normal with around 300K platelets. She is patient of arthritis since 20 years and she had sweting and breathing problem since 2 months too.
I WANT TO KNOW whether we need to discuss with his physician dealing arthritis or simply carry on pulmo treatment. How long does it take to recover? any suggestion ll be welcomed thanks Aamir (PhD)

AOA. Sputum Exam is vital in this case. CRP is also advised. She may require CT Scan Chest. Is she old case of COPD. Tab Uniphline. Nebulization with Atem nebule. Steam inhalation will help .
